Do Not Stick Your Tongue Out

Do not stick your tongue out
When you’re walking round
It would be so painful
When you go falling down
And if you’re eating
With a chew chew chew
Sticking your tongue out is
Something not to do.
So listen to me
Yes do do do
Keep your tongue in your mouth
It’s the last thing that you do

About Ijagun Poetry Journal

Ijagun Poetry Journal is a quarterly journal that provides a platform from which we can tell our own stories in the authenticity of their multiplicity through the poetic medium. We don’t want to hear these stories from our master “griots” alone; we want to hear from those mastering their art, too. Hence, we aim at publishing new and emerging poets. We also welcome the works of established poets in order to encourage the poetic genius of those mastering poetic art. We prize original works that conform to, break or reinvent conventions. Again, we accept reviews and critical essays on poetry. We also accept powerful art works and photographs that make us appreciate the "poetry" in everything.
